Vandalism game breaking

[PdB-NoKRa]

I have an army of security and allot of security cameras but still need to fix stuff every month or so, you need to search were the broken stuff is and so on, it even gets so crazy after i repaired the stuff i can do the same route over cause its already broken again, This is breaking my my game its so frustrating. Mostly the education stuff is broken so my education is way low this way.

Are your guests unhappy?

Unhappy guests tend to break things more often than when guests are happy

Also, large crowds increase the odds of vandalism and pickpocketing occurring

iam working on that, got some staff buildings in sight they dont like and aducation also, but thats broken al the time, so hope its gets little better but i think its to much vandalism, if i dont like something i dont break it either its not logical

Yeah,really boring.
Moreover,there's no panel for all the broken stuffs to have a quick repair.

Mechanics repair vandalism

I havnt seen a mechanixc repair the educational stuff, if i dont do it myself everything is broken.
And yers they need a panel were you can quik repair stuff its really annoying looking for it al the time.

Patch states mechanics will fix these issues more quickly now

I disabled all the tasks except Vandalism for my mechanic, then dropped him right beside the broken benches. He walked away...

i have the same broblem i'm fixing the broken stuff 24h7, i just want to building new things lol

yes vandalism is a really annoying pain in this game. My mechanics won't fix any of it either. They really do need some sort of heat map or panel that shows broken objects. To fix them quick. Searching through hundreds of guests to find a vandalized item is horrible.

Look at guest comments and click the "locate" button next to the comment about there being broken/vandalized things. It takes you straight to the vandalized item.

Also, set some mechanics to just repair vandalism and they will take care of most of it, just gotta give them time. This is lower priority work then habitat and infrastructure repairs, so if you don't have dedicated mechanics to do it and don't have a lot of extra mechanic capacity they won't get be much help.
I still have to fix education displays myself, but the mechanics set to only repair vandalized items take care of most of it. ( I set them to do ride repair and maintenance as well seeing as that is not something I need much of in any of my zoos).

Also helps to hire more security and put cameras around so they stop the vandals before they can damage too much.

If you have mechanics assigned to workzones, they won't repair stuff outside of those - even if you call a mechanic to it. Have a zoo in challenge mode, don't know if it's different elsewhere, but haven't put in any cameras and only have two guards, it's big enough that most animal types are present. Have trained the mechanics up to 5 stars, which might help. I've made a workzone of the whole zoo and put all of them on it, it's worked without a hitch so far. Try both without them assigned to any zones at all, or assigned to all of it. Hope it works out for you. :)

Frankly I think the guests complain too much you just fix one thing then they complain about something else and my mechanics dont fix stuff either they are all trained and have work zones they wont fix benches bins or atm machines. It is very frustrating. What about refunds is it just the entrance fee or is all they ate and drank or other money they spent.

I've had a mechanic repair a screen ... once ..
I've had a mechanic repair a bench ... once ..
When asked I've had mechanics repair atms... I think they are low on their priority list so I usually have the atms on a separate work group that the caretakers, mechanics and security guys use as a patrol zone.

Both instances were new hires placed in front of the offending item.

It's either bugged or partially implemented.

[mossaddiction]

Well I just thought of this maybe when you add something new you have to do the work zone over that could be a bug. I am going to check it out.

I never ever had a problem with any vandalism in my franchise zoo at all. I currently run a 8-9k zoo with 10 Security guards,
